ericem replied to ericem's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAW!! im super PO'ed! look, heres some pics, its looks like the idiot from 2 years ago who did the timing belt did this, and he probably didnt torque it down. Ok well does it looks like the key is still alright? ANd i reinstall some new belts and the the pulley, now what about the thread, does it look right?

ericem replied to ericem's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXAre u sure? It didnt fall off it just lossened and when u tighten the bolt everything is alright, just i cant seem to torque it will because there is no way to hold the pulley. U know what im talking about right, the main pulley for the alternator, power steering and etc pumps. It hasnt fallen off it just got a tiny bid lose, and it just played a little. What should i do my mom needs the car tommrow:confused:. How can i hold the pulley? so i can torque down the bolt?

Need some help! EMERGENCY! car in- need tommorow!!
Ok, well i figured out the knocking noise, it was the harmonic pulley(dad told me a new word) now i took out the bolt and it was super loose, and poured locktite all over it(blue locktite) and put it back in and torqued it down. 20mins later after i exit a highway and i hear it idling, it lossened again! Whats the best way to hold the pulley and torque the bolt, because when u tighten it, it turns over the engine, so u cant really torque it, got any ideas? Thanks guys, and i need help before tommorow, because my mom needs the car.

Slight bang or like dead spot....
ericem replied to ericem's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXOK, new update. Its fixed, i just found water sitting where the spark plugs are, blew out the water, and sprayed some contact cleaner on the spark plug wires, and the spark plug. Now when i floor it all 4 wheels turn hehe. Much better perferformance thats for sure, and now when it idles, it doesnt shiver at all, and its idling at 300-400rpms. THen i came home and i heard knocking noise, I FREAKED!! i thought a rod had broken or something. but when u accerllarate the noise was gone, so i sprayed some wd 40 around the belt area, and i think the idler was causing the noise, but my dad sprayed contact cleaner on the belts( dont as me why) and that must have created a noise as it cleans the lubricante and grease off. But boy was that a scare.

Questions about early Legacy wagons
ericem replied to ogiesdad's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXYa i resent the 4EAT not being as reliable as the 5MT, bearing and clutches can go wrong with a 5MT, and with a 4EAT just the solenoid can die, but in most cases it is just the clutch for the AWD solenoid and a tranny flush usually fixed it. Edit: fixed the clutches from sticking not a dead solenoid(torque bind)

Questions about early Legacy wagons
ericem replied to ogiesdad's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXTHe old trannies are great, just the failure off a solenoid for the AWD isnt great. Now between 90-94, stick to 92-94 much more reliable, and anything earlier is still reliable as it is a subaru, just there may be the odd knock sensor failure, tranny failure, u need to do the external transmission filter recal for 89-91 i believe. Now just make sure the car doesnt bind around tight turns, and be sure when u do buy one to change oil, timing belt, diff oil, tranny oil, and look at colant level, and power steering, and engine, and tranny levels. ANd 2.2l engines are great so dont be worried about engine issues. But be sure there are no serious oil leaks, i mean the odd bit off oil around the head wont hurt, but try and avoid cars like that.

ericem replied to nipper's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXOh, ic, i was thinking about doing the same thing then ill have auto diming, compass, outdoor, temp, tv(lol), and a mirror. But then i would have to run 12v and temp sensor through the firewall, or does it just detect the temperatrue off the glass?
